Thanks for starting the thread this week, Apryl (I've been pre-occupied...mainly in the bathroom) Let's make this first week of June the first of many on plan and accountable weeks! Looks like you and Jenaya are leading the way - way to go!

I finally went to the doctor today and have been told it looks like I fell victim to mild food poisoning. Wow, do I ever have issues with food - if I eat too much of it I get fat and when I try to eat healthy it makes me sick! He said probably chicken or seafood was the culprit.

We were able to narrow it down to the food I eat at work because nobody else at home has the same symptons (thank goodness). I have to admit to not always refrigerating my food at work and letting it sit for hours in a drawer before eating, plus I buy lots of salads with poultry and seafood from markets downtown that have been sitting in the open for awhile. So, a warning to everyone to make sure you don't leave your food lying around for lengths of time and to be careful what you buy from markets!

I'll admit to being taken care of nicely - G's been bringing me cups of tea, the girls have been tiptoeing around quietly and the dog brought me a milkbone!

The doctor gave me something to settle my tummy and prevent the horrible gastric disorders I've been suffering and told me to stick to liquids for another day to flush it out. Of course once he said that my appetite immediately returned and now I'm starving. I figure I've lost a lot of water weight, but know that'll come back as soon as I can eat properly again. I haven't been exercising for the last couple of days, although my intestines have been doing gymnastics...

So I'll end this post by saying when it comes to eats, drinks and exercise, I've had plenty to drink, nothing much to eat and will continue lazing around for another day.

Sigh, when I think of all the suspect food I ate in Russia its difficult to think that a Canadian chicken or salmon did me in!

I would love to be a part of this thread, but am having a very hard time justifying typing it all out into 2 different places. I need to have the fitday set up for my renal dietician, lest I give her a link to here Not that this isn't a great place, mind you. She was very glad that I had such a wonderful place for support.

So I'm going to make my fitday link a part of my signature. But I will be checking into this thread & posting encouragement, and as ALWAYS, click the link in my sig to see how I'm eating that day.

Apryl: thank you for starting the thread!
Jenaya: welcome to the gang!
Jilly: I'm glad you finally went to the doctor, I was beginning to think we had another victim of the 100# Club Water.

Hi. I just posted in the weigh-in thread. I lost another pound this week. I realized by looking at the last thread before this one that every week, I start off saying that I need to get back on track. Then I do Monday (or this week Tuesday) and have a loss.

Here's a thought, I weigh in on Saturday and usually go out Saturday night, then it runs into Sunday, by Monday I have no flex points + left and I really focus for the rest of the week. What I need to do it focus through the weekend and then my weight might start moving a little faster???

I tend to walk a fine line between focused and depravation. The fasted way for me to get off plan is to feel deprived, which so far I really haven't.

Anyway, I can't do much about it this week, but next week after weigh-in, I'm just going to stay on plan as much as possible and see just what might happen.

Anyone else have this happen?

Oh yeah SAPF, you're soooo funny If it was though, to make me THIS sick it'd have to be the spawn of the !

I guess I can always go over to fitday to view your consumption, but I'm going to kind of miss seeing what toppings you've picked off your pizza and what new shooters you've discovered (Bubblegum is gross!)
